Description: BIO Bio-Rad Laboratories January 08, 2026
Bio-Rad Laboratories (NYSE:BIO) is a global supplier of life-science research and clinical-diagnostic products, operating through two segments: Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics. The firm designs, manufactures, and markets instruments, reagents, consumables, and software that enable the separation, purification, characterization, and quantitation of biological materials for applications ranging from biopharma manufacturing and quality control to food safety and academic research.
Key metrics that analysts watch include FY2023 revenue of roughly $3.2 billion, an operating margin near 22 %, and R&D spending at about 10 % of sales-levels that reflect the capital-intensive nature of the sector. Growth is driven by sustained biotech R&D investment (global spend exceeding $200 billion) and continued demand for clinical-diagnostic testing, especially in infectious-disease and personalized-medicine markets. The company’s mixed-channel distribution model (direct sales plus distributors, agents, and brokers) helps it capture market share across diverse geographies.
